It's 5:45am and LO made some noises but she is still asleep in the mamaroo. She went in it at 11:45pm and is usually up and hungry by now. My boobs are FULL and I need milk for my stash but no idea what to do. WWJ14D?

    Was afraid of the bottle feeding what I pumped but why am I scared? She takes a bottle. I'll pump. Fingers crossed she keeps sleeping. (Pump is on other side of apartment from baby and DH)

    This keeps happening to me too, but I've found that when I pump MOTN it's almost all foremilk (how can there be 5oz in there!) so I just start it up anyway so that he gets some hindmilk :) I of course keep it and mix it into another pumping during the day, but that's just what I've foud works. And it never fails that he wakes up 5min into my pumping session ;)

    Like CAMag said, you could also just use a bottle :) But regardless I'd do it anyway if you are totally awake.

    Thanks @CAMag‌! Pumping, moved pump to livingroom and propped bedroom open to listen for her. I know DH could get her if she cried but he hasn't had to do that on a work night. It's 6:15am though now, not like 3am. If he woke now it is not the end of the world.

    Ok I clearly need to RELAX. Damn I wish I was still sleeping!

    Ghost town around TB at night now?

    Hahaha 5am is when we are up for the day...

    I would have suggested what CAMag said too. She is wise.

    I am here pumping away. The morning pump is my favorite because I get the most I will get all day.

    Jealous.  Im trying to pump at least twice a day so I can get a good amount put away.  So far that is not happening.

    I am an EPer so all I do is pump. I only have 4oz in the freezer so don't be too jealous.

    I'm too scared to pump because we cluster feed in the afternoon, so I'm worried about supply.

    I'm tempted to stay home for a week just to pump and feed to get my supply back.
    I vote stay home for a week :)

    Doesn't pumping supposedly help with supply? I am always worried about my supply too, by the way.

    I pumped for 15 to 20 minutes, stopping when it seemed to slow down, and only got 3 ounces from the left and 2 from the right. Lame.

    ancedotal but I EBF and hate pumping. When I do pump I usually get approx. 4-5 oz. the LC said that was great. I think if you EP you are more likely to get more per pumping. Also, what you pump isn't a reflection of what the baby is getting.
